== Quote #1 : "It isn't that our need for music has diminished,"
It isn't that our need for music has diminished, said James Parakilas,
music department chairman at Bates College in Maine and author of
"Piano Roles: 300 Years of Life With the Piano." In fact, our opportunities
to hear music seem to be increasing: at home, in cars, even as we walk or
jog, buds nestled in our ears. It's that there are so many ways to make
and listen to music, and most of them are less demanding and expensive
than actually playing the piano.

== Quote #2: "The fall of the piano has been a long time coming, really."
The fall of the piano has been a long time coming, really. The heyday
of the ivory-keyed beauties lasted from 1900 to 1930, according to
statistics provided to the Times by the National Piano Manufacturers
Association. As the main source of musical entertainment — or most
entertainment inside the home, for that matter — in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries, the piano was a staple. But then radios came
along and became the first to make a dent in the piano’s stronghold.
Keyboards and all things digital soon followed. And now, as you struggle
to find a home for grandma’s old piano, it may end up the same place
that many are now going: the dump.

== Quote #3 : "Youth sports demands also compete with music studies."
Youth sports demands also compete with music studies. "Children these
days are being recruited for so many other activities, whether it's soccer,
gymnastics, or swimming," said Robin Walenta, CEO of West Music, a music
retailer with a chain of stores in Iowa and Illinois.

== Quote #4 : “We bust them up with a sledgehammer,”
Piano movers are making regular runs to the dump, becoming adept at
dismantling instruments, selling parts to artists, even burning them for
firewood.
“We bust them up with a sledgehammer,” said Jeffrey Harrington, the
owner of Harrington Moving & Storage in Maplewood, N.J.

== Quote #5 : "piano playing is a little like black-and-white movies."
Jeffrey Lavner, a piano teacher at the Colburn School in downtown L.A., puts
it this way: "I think piano playing is a little like black-and-white movies."
